Question: What is one thing you wish people knew about Epilepsy?

My answer:
Not everyone who experiences seizures , fall to the floor and shake.

* I'd love to hear your thoughts

  1. If you ever had a migraine cocktail they will give/send you into a seizure. It did me. I have epilepsy and PNES!! They ER gave it to me!!

    1. Education and help fund to find a cure.
      So many campaigns to find other disorders, big push for Epilepsy is needed

      1. yes , I totally agree .
        Maybe to fund awareness commercials as well, other causes have them , why not Epilepsy Awareness?

    2. I’ve encountered several people who don’t understand not all seizures are easily controlled.

      Never went a single year without having any.

      1. , more education definitely needed.

    3. the thing I wish people knew was, that just because I've had a seizure (or am about to have one), doesn't mean I'm a different person or have a different personality

      may just take me a while to get back to normal

      I also tell people not to worry and it isn't the end of the world.
